Highly Recommend!

A wonderful location and even better service made for a terrific stay! The rooms were great sizes, cleaned thoroughly daily, breakfast was quick and tasty, and the staff was quick to answer any and all questions. I really felt at home and at ease for my week long stay!

10/10 Exceptional

Beautifully decorated Hotel, very unique modern style. The Team was super helpful with everything. And it's a walking distance to the V&A Waterfront. I will definitely come back again.

The most beautiful room/hotel I’ve ever stayed in. Felt so posh yet comfortable and homey. The staff were helpful and everything was so clean.

Wanted to love it but

Looks like it might be on its way to being a very cool hotel but so
JOSEPH, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

I love the repurposing of old buildings, and The Old Foundry has done this with great practical and aesthetic execution. The room was small, but we knew this when we booked. It had all the amenities we needed, including Africology products in the bathroom. The breakfast was excellent and the staff friendly, helpful and responsive to every need.

10/10 Exceptional

Clean and quiet property in old warehouse section close to V&A waterfront area. Not a great view out the front but this place has character and not your average modern hotel layout but shabby chic with a bit of funk. Great breakfasts and Giorgio restaurant downstairs in courtyard for dinner. Reasonably priced for location!
Rodney, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

So good I will probably return. The only thing that failed is there is nothing in the bathroom to leave your things on. Had to use the table in the room instead.
Erik, 4-night trip

4/10 Fair

The staff at check out where great. Yet they had me up stairs after confirming with them for 3 months that I will not be set up in a room that required me to climb steps. They change me to another room but the room was not what I thought I was going to have at the end. The bathroom was small and I had to crawl to the shower since it was not accessible. It was a hard stay for me.

The food from the kitchen was amazing. I looked forward to breakfast there every morning. Staff were friendly and helpful and always smiling.
Joel, 9-night trip

2/10 Poor

Looks great but not a good idea to stay there

Upon arrival. The receptionist did not say welcome. Just gave me the key and sent a cleaner to show me the room. I have a bad back and asked for the elevator and was told they don’t have it. I asked the cleaner about info and she just left. Went back to the receptionist and said that he neglected to give me information. He told me all I need to know is in writing in the room. I asked him to tell me verbally about wifi and breakfast times. He told me that breakfast is not included. I’m a gold member and my booking clearly said that breakfast was included. The heating did not work properly and the room was freezing. They sent the maintenance guy three times and he was just making it worse. Finally they gave me a small portable heater big enough to heat a small car. Not a presidential room with tall ceilings. I had work to do but the lighting in the room was very dim. The presidential room comes with a bath tub. But I was told by the cleaners not to use it because the water will flood the room. The staff knew I was unhappy and they did not make any attempt whatsoever to apologize or make it up to me. I stay in hotels a lot and this is by far my worst experience. I will not return nor recommend this hotel to anyone.

Great hotel and staff Good location , but not great 15 min walk to VandA Told not to do it at night even if only 15mins! Apart from that good hotel The bed in room 2 is horrendous with the mattress needing changed many years ago. We moved room which was good Good breakfast and parking A few shops just around the corner and also a15 min walk to City Centre
Stephen, 10-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Enjoyed the daily breakfast and walking to the V&A only took 10-15 minutes so very convenient. Hotel was clean and spacious. One thing to mention was you can hear water pipes when showering which did not bother us one bit.

Good Hotel for some days, V&A Waterfront 15 min to walk. No buffet for breakfast. Some firealarms without reason, even in the night.

What an awesome hotel!

This place was quite the pleasant surprise! Nestled just on the edge of the wharf district, the Old Foundry hotel was clean and welcoming with just a touch of a modern, yet 1930’s feel. The rooms were spacious and clean. The beds were comfortable and the walk-in rain shower was amazing. But the best part of this hotel is the staff and the cafe. The staff waited on us hand and foot, and even remembered our breakfast orders from the previous days. Anything we needed and they were on top of it immediately. As for the cafe, the food was incredible. We were especially fans of the French toast and the BLT, both of which were probably the best we’ve ever had. You won’t regret picking the place. A quick 10 minute walk to the water front, or about $4 USD Uber ride.
